"NYPD reportedly defies sanctuary city status..."

The NYPD’s process of verifying warrants against a defendant includes contacting relevant law enforcement agencies, including ICE, which alerts agents to an illegal immigrant’s upcoming court date, the New York Daily News reported Sunday.

New York City has vowed to only alert immigration officials if an illegal immigrant is accused of a violent crime.

Despite President Trump’s request for more than $1 billion to fund the Mexican border wall this year, GOP leaders are expected to exclude the money in the spending bill being prepared to keep the government open beyond April 28.

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) says the choice is pragmatic and the money will come later.

Sorry ed but there is a disturbing trend going on. The Syria bombing. The move to intervene in Korea. The failure to end Obamacare. The blocking of spending for the Wall.

IdiotCare was backing out of a bad bill, and blocking the spending is Ryan's doing and, as Ampersan noted, Ryan needs to check with his boss, Tom Donohue, for instructions.

As for Korea, we haven't "intervened". The Norks are making all kinds of noises about detonating a nucular weapon and Trump does what any American President would do (last I looked, no shots have been fired).

Jeez $1 Billion is like a dime to one of us and Ryan can't squeeze out of something else? They Beltway crowd is trying to run out the clock on Trump.

As I said, there's plenty in discretionary funds in Cabinet department budgets and Trump can us that.
